Neurotech - the weblog of Luke Reeves

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and this one’s gonna be short! We’ve been both busy as all hell recently - Chie has been taking on more and more responsibilities at her job and I got made the “team leader” at mine. It’s good on the whole for both of us, but it definitely adds more work and stress.

The best thing happening recently is Chie becoming a permanent resident of Canada today. We applied last August for the residency for her and the big interview/appointment was in the afternoon. We were both nervous; turns out the only questions were if she had a criminal record (no) and was I her husband and sponsor (yes). And that was it! So now she’s a permanent resident and can almost travel out of the country.

I say almost because technically she needs her P.R. card to leave the country. Related to that is the fact that we’ve booked our next trip to Japan in the start of November - and we learned today that the card can take up to 8 weeks to come in the mail. So needless to say we’re sort of both shitting our pants on that front and praying (just kidding) that it’ll come in on time.

The bad news is that we - well, my parents - had to put down our dog, Jake, on the weekend. He was eleven years old and pretty sick so it was understandable but still very depressing.

And that’s all for now!
